A short-stacked Noah Boeken had raised from the cutoff and got a somewhat reluctant caller from the small blind, creating a pot of 1,125. The flop came {7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{A-Spades}, the SB checked, and Boeken committed his last 500 chips.

His opponent rechecked his cards, saying "Hard to miss some of that board" as he did. Finally he called, tabling {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Boeken showed {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Spades} -- he had in fact missed that flop, although he still had hopes for a low or some other runner-runner run good.

The turn was the {8-Spades}, making that low for Boeken, the river the {Q-Diamonds}, and the pair split the pot. "That's some pretty light action," someone from across the table told the SB, who smiled in response. "Hey, I'm just a tourist from Chicago," he said. "I came here to have a good time."

Boeken isn't necessarily having such a good time today, as he is presently down under 1,500 and with no more add-on chips.
